I want to add a community that is essentially the Lemmy version of an existing subreddit (r/mcmansionhell). Is this allowed?

      So is there a way to view this on kbin or do I always have to view it on sh.itjust.works?

        you should be able to view it wherever you use lemmy. they’re all federated

          I think It’s because someone from Kbin needs to subscribe to it first. I just did that and the link works now. Though federation doesn’t work retroactively, so the existing posts aren’t showing up.

          As an update I just tried and it’s working. I’ve been getting 505s a lot today, obviously server strain.

          I’ve been getting 500s all day so it’s most likely the server not being able to keep up with the Reddit migration

            400s errors are server side. 500s errors are your side.

              Other way around. 400s are client errors, 500s are server errors.

              You can see the full list of http error codes and descriptions of what they mean here

      I tried posting from Mastodon and it worked although the title didn’t come through quite right.

        I saw I think <:3

        If you can change the title through lemmy, to have the “CityName, StateName - Tag” format, that would be really helpful!

      Awesome. I see no issue with it… only thing I’d add is that it would probably be morally encouraged, when it comes to subs with creative/non-obvious concepts to 1) allow for the mods who created the original to mod here if they want and 2) stay true to the original idea of the sub. As a homage to the mods and users who fostered the original community.

        I want to do that! Should I just message them directly?

          What I’ve seen some magazines do is simply have the magazine’s explanatory text say that “this is not the same team from r/whatever from reddit, if that’s you and you want to mod here just reach out” or something. Though I imagine that makes more sense if the sub stayed privated on reddit, if they’re still reddit mods and just gave into reddit pressure I’d just tell them to stay there…
